PS5 Jailbreak 13.60: What Relapse Can Do and the Risks

A new PlayStation 5 jailbreak known as Relapse has attracted attention within the console modding community after expanding support across a wide range of PS5 system software versions.

According to the official Relapse project documentation, the exploit currently supports PS5 firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60.


Unlike a traditional hardware modification, Relapse is a software exploit chain designed to give advanced users deeper access to the system and the ability to run custom software.

What Does Relapse Actually Allow?

The biggest attraction of a jailbreak is the ability to run software that is normally unavailable on a standard retail PlayStation 5.

For developers and enthusiasts, this can include homebrew applications, system utilities, emulators, debugging tools and security research software.


Relapse also provides a route for loading custom ELF payloads, making it useful for developers experimenting with PS5 software outside Sony's normal environment.

What Are the Risks of Jailbreaking a PS5?

Sony's Warning About Modified PS5 Consoles

Sony officially recommends keeping PS5 system software updated and warns users against installing system software through unofficial methods or on consoles that have been modified.

According to Sony, modifying the console can cause the system to stop operating correctly, interfere with future official updates and may void the console's warranty or affect access to repair services. PlayStation

Should You Jailbreak Your PS5?

For developers, researchers and experienced enthusiasts using a secondary console, Relapse is an interesting technical development.

For the average player, however, the advantages are much harder to justify.


If the PS5 is your main console and you regularly use PlayStation Network, online multiplayer, newly released games or official digital services, keeping the console on the latest official system software remains the safer option.


Relapse is still experimental software, and even its developers make it clear that anyone using it accepts the risks involved. GitHub.
